All I know about EVs: effort values, certain pokemon give certain ones.
I want my pikachu to be a hard hitting pokemon(only level 20 right now) so I've just been grinding and fleeing battles unless I encounter a pokemon who gives atk EVs (ekans manky arbok spinarak)
Someone said dont worry about it just get to level 100 and then EV train them.
Do you agree? I was under the impression that EVs calculate how many points you gain in a stat upon leveling up. So if I was at level 100 and I dont level up anymore, how would the EVs still apply? Am I wasting time by trying to hunt for specific ev pokemon right now this early into the game?
